Makeup Revolution 24K Gold Eyeshadow Palette

Whenever Makeup Revolution or Revolution as they are now called release a new eyeshadow palette nine times out of ten I want it. In my time of using eyeshadow palettes from Makeup Revolution (Or Revolution as they are now called) I am yet to find one which I haven't liked or loved. In fact my most used palette is Fortune Favours The Brave.

When I saw that there had been some new releases, one I clearly missed featuring the 24k Gold Eyeshadow Palette, I wanted to give it a try. Priced at £8.99 from TAM Beauty but not currently available from Superdrug, this palette is described as being a "special edition palette is packed with 16 shadows in rich, warm tones. Alongside six matte shades, this palette contains a range of shimmering golds with undertones of peach, yellow and bronze for endless, gleaming looks". Like other palettes from Revolution, this one comes complete with a mirror which fits the entire top half of the palette.Looking like the chocolate bar design we have all come to know and love, this one differs slightly in looks due to the 'unwrapped chocolate bar' being gold dripped and shiny, similar to that of the Rose Gold Bar, which I also love. Inside the palette, you will find that the 24K Gold Palette contains 16 eyeshadows alongside a double ended sponge tip applicator, which I think is better made for this bar than some of the previous ones I have had and used.

The shadows, again, I think are much better in this palette than some of the previous ones and the selection of shades includes:

Bling – a light golden shimmer.

Lustre – a matte cream and one of the few shades I hadn't expected to be a cream.

Spirit – a mauve brown matte.

Spice – a beautiful chocolate brown matte.

Gilded – a light warm brown matte.

Flare – a chocolate brown matte which has some copper shimmer particles.

Stun – a warm orangey gold shimmer.

Real – a rosy brown shimmer and one of my favourite shades

Moonlit – a lovely light peach shimmer.

Glacier – an olive green foil which has a golden tone to it, almost duo-chrome.

Solitaire – a stunning golden brown foil

Rock – a copper shimmer.

Stone – a peachy brown matte.

Crown – a warm chocolate brown matte.

Satellite – an intense matte black.

Gem – a light champagne shimmer.

As I have said, for me this is one of the better chocolate palettes from Makeup Revolution and the quality of the shadows are simply amazing for the price. I have eyeshadow palettes which have cost me more than double the price that are not as good as this one. This is a great palette for those who love their nude/neutral shades but with a little something extra thrown in. My favourite shades from the palette are Crown, Flare and Gem but they are all beautiful shades and they all work amazingly well on their own or together.
